Israel will allow foreign countries to parachute aid into Gaza starting on Friday, Israeli army radio quoted a military official as saying.
An Israeli military spokesperson did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment on the report.
The Gaza health ministry, which is controlled by the ruling Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, claims that more than 100 people have died from starvation in the enclave.
Israel, which has been at war with Hamas in Gaza since the terrorist group’s Oct. 7, 2023, invasion of the Jewish state, has restrictions in place on aid that it says are needed to prevent supplies from being diverted to Hamas.
In the first two weeks of July, the UN children’s agency UNICEF treated 5,000 children facing acute malnutrition in Gaza.
Israel has rejected claims that its military policies have triggered starvation in Gaza, describing such accusations as inaccurate, politically driven, and detached from reality.
The Israeli government has facilitated the entry of hundreds of aid trucks into Gaza, officials said this week, condemning the UN and international aid agencies for their alleged failure to distribute supplies.
